Hooray for my little reader girl!!
I wanted to share with everyone a wonderful victory for Ana tonight. I worked at a book sale to earn free books for the kids. I let them come and pick some out. One book Ana picked was an "easy reader" (has less words on the page, easier words to read and sound out) about these toys she likes called Littlest Pet Shop. Here is the book: Well tonight we were out late but she wanted to read the book aloud to me (which is a real change-- she never wants to read!). She started in the car while I had the light on in the parking lot. I asked Jesse if she was really reading it or making up the words. She was reading! So I told her when we got home she could read it. And read it she did! It was nearly 11pm by the time she finished, but she did it without getting too frustrated-- sounding out words, accepting instruction/correction. WOW! What a change in attitude! I am so proud of her. |
